D. ​40.5 hours

F. ​27.75 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

each ticket = $27.75

Step-by-step explanation:

70.50-15=55.50

55.50÷2=27.75

Answer 2

Answer:$20.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of a game ticket

The cost of a game ticket and a jersey is X + $15

The cost of a game ticket and a jersey for both Leo and Bonnie would be x + $15 multiplied by 2. 2(x + $15)

Together they paid $70.50

That is 2(x+$15) =$70.50

Open the bracket by multiplying by 2

2x + $30 =$70.50

2x= $70.50-$30 make 2x the subject

2x=$40.50

2x/2 = $40.50/2 Divide both sides by 2

x = $21.25

Hence the price of a game ticket as represented by x is $21.25
